Random Vibrations on Galaxy Watch: Possible Causes and Solutions

by | Nov 6, 2024 | Galaxy Watch, News

If you’re a Samsung Galaxy Watch user, you may have noticed unexpected vibrations. It feels like there’s an incoming notification but you find none. Rest assured, you’re not alone. Many Galaxy Watch users have reported experiencing the same issue, and there’s no clear answer to what may be causing it. But can you do anything to stop these vibrations? Let’s find out.

Galaxy Watch users are worried about random vibrations

This vibration issue affects Galaxy Watch users globally and follows a similar pattern: one initial vibration, followed by three quick taps. As mentioned, no one has pinpointed the exact cause of those vibrations. However, some theories are floating around various online platforms. Some Galaxy Watch users have suggested possible causes and solutions on the Samsung community forum.

The first theory is that these vibrations may be triggered when the Galaxy Watch temporarily loses connection to the phone. While this could be true in certain cases — we have experienced a few such instances — other users report that these random taps happen even without a disconnect, or at least without any accompanying notification about a connection drop on the phone or watch.

Google Maps mirroring notifications could also be the culprit, as the random vibrations stopped for some Galaxy Watch users after disabling this feature. Unfortunately, others continue to experience vibrations despite turning it off. If you’d like to try out this resolution on your Samsung smartwatch, follow these steps: Open Google Maps > Swipe up and tap Settings > Turn off the mirroring option.

Some users have also pointed fingers at WhatsApp. If you suspect this might be the cause, try uninstalling WhatsApp temporarily to see if the problem persists. If none of the above solutions work, a factory reset may be worth considering. While it’s a bit of a hassle, some users report that resetting and reconnecting their Galaxy Watch to their phone helps. To try this: Open Settings > General > Reset.

Although these vibrations can be annoying, it’s not a major issue. It doesn’t cause any functional errors or other problems. As of now, there isn’t a definitive solution, but Samsung may address it in a future update. If a fix becomes available, we’ll be sure to share it with you. In the meantime, one of these tricks may help resolve the problem — or at least provide some temporary relief.
